Industry Support Soars As Grand American Award Programs Attract 53 Sponsors
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 24, 2002) - The contingency award programs for the Rolex Sports Car Series and the Grand-Am Cup Street Stock Series have attracted 53 auto industry companies for the 2002 season, marking a nearly 30 percent increase over last year.
The contingency award programs offer awards to participating teams that use the companies' products and display their decals on the cars. In 2001, more than $750,000 in additional awards were earned as a result of the contingency programs. The 2002 programs offer nearly three million dollars in posted awards.
The Grand-Am Cup Street Stock Series saw phenomenal growth in its program with the sponsor count doubling from 16 in 2001 to 32 in 2002. The Rolex Sports Car Series, which already was enjoying wide industry support, grew by more than 20 percent to 29 participants.
"With Grand American Road Racing Association offering these two popular championship series, we have programs that can help companies promote and sell their products," noted Patrick Murphy, Grand American Special Projects Manager. "I think that is the bottom line in explaining the growth."
